Hey, how are you guys doing? I'm Zach. Just a lazy guy in the twilight years of high school who enjoys writing and plans to make a career out of it. I ain't into guys, because miss me with that gay shit.

When it comes to music, I'll jam to just about anything. I admit that I can't get into certain things. For instance, I just can't get into Marylin Manson. I am all for anger, because it is an empowering emotion to a degree. Hate, however, I see as a hindrance.

That said, any joke I make in any of my stories or on this profile should be taken as just that: a joke, even if its a tad offensive. If I offend anyone anyway, feel free to take it up with me directly. Just send me a PM and we can talk through some shit, because Gods knows I don't do anything.

But don't get hateful. I don't hate anybody, mostly because I am literally unable to, so you shouldn't either. You can be gay, straight, bi, black, white, male, female, non binary, what have you. I don't care. People are people. We're all just pieces of shit wallowing in the shitstorm we've created, so why not wallow together? Now onto a more positive information.

There are a few books that have really snagged my interest. The first series to do so was the Eragon series by Christopher Paolini, and it is honestly what set fire to my heart and got me writing my own stuff, be it fanfiction or multiple failed attempts at a novel, though this last one is going quite strong. Since then, the Mortal Instruments books and its sister series all published by Cassandra Clare have worked to kindle that fire and feed my hunger alongside the Ember in the Ashes series by Sabaa Tahir.

As far as fanfics go, there are a few authors that I highly recommend: First off is an author known as "TheRepeat". They are an amazing author, whose stories have brought me more respect and love for Fire Emblem Fates than the games have. Second is NaryfielLilith. Their stories are generally retellings of what happens during or before the main story of Fire Emblem games. I also recommend checking out NumberCDLI, PheonixChampion, and metallover.

ALSO: We have a discord, now! It's mainly for Fractured and Burned, now called Doctrine of Valor (the only longrunning story i currently have) but anyone is welcome to join! Basically a space to give me ideas and feedback directly, as well as offer a way to communicate more smoothly with myself and amongst each other. Add me on discord at 111oats#3341 for an invite!

The beautiful image that is the background for Doctrine of Valor is a piece of work done by xuanlulu on Tumblr. By no means is it my work.
